Since former United Nations gang members started testifying at the Cory Vallee murder trial last month, there has been dramatic evidence about a number of unsolved murders – several of them done by the gang itself.

Witness D testified that he turned against his gang after he believed gang members killed Ryan “Whitey” Richards and Sean “Smurph” Murphy – two young Abbotsford frontline traffickers. Witness C confirmed on the stand that the UN did in fact kill both, though no charges have been laid.

C went on to say the UN had also arrange the murder of Adam Naname Kataoka in Argentina, even though he was close to the gang.

Today C described another murder – this time of Jesse “Egon” Adkins, who was suspected of being involved in the murder of Kevin LeClair along with Cory Vallee.

UN gang had murder suspect killed in Mexico after saying `f— the crew’, trial hearsThe United Nations gang had a suspect in the Kevin LeClair murder killed in Mexico because they were worried he might turn on them, B.C. Supreme Court heard Wednesday.

Jesse “Egon” Adkins was hiding in Mexico, along with accused killer Cory Vallee, when he started getting restless and wanting to come home, former UN gangster C testified.

“I believe he wanted to come home and see his kid,” said C, whose identity is protected by a sweeping publication ban.

Earlier C told Justice Janice Dillon that he, Adkins and another UN member were driving with Barzan Tilli-Choli when Tilli-Choli blasted a Porsche owned by the Bacon brothers on May 9, 2008.

Jonathan Barber, a stereo installer who had just picked up the Porsche, was killed instantly.

And C testified that Adkins and Vallee confessed to him that they were the hit men that gunned down LeClair, a Bacon associate, in a Langley plaza on Feb. 6, 2009.

Vallee is charged with conspiracy to kill the Bacons, as well as first-degree murder in the LeClair shooting.

C said Adkins and Vallee were smuggled into Mexico through a Los Angeles cartel contact of Khamla Wong, a respected UN gang elder now in jail in Thailand.

But after several months, Adkins was getting edgy and making derogatory comments about the UN, C said.

He testified that he tried to tell Adkins to stay put.

“I told him — it’s not a smart idea. Give it some time. Maybe in the future after the UN 8 case is done, we’ll see what happens with that and then assess from there,” C said.

“I told him the smartest thing to do is to stay there.”

But there was concern that Adkins’ instability could lead to him flipping on the gang, C said.

“Kham discussed it with the Mexicans that Jesse might be a problem and the Mexicans said that they’re going to take care of it,” C said.

He said he understood that to mean “that Jesse would get killed.”

Asked by prosecutor Helen James how he felt about Adkins’ murder, C said:

“I had mixed emotions about it. I liked Jesse but at the same time, the way he was acting — he was seriously saying the words he was saying like `f— the crew’ and `I am coming back no matter what,’ it seemed worrisome that he may have turned into a rat,” C said.

He said he later learned from both Vallee, who was still in Mexico, and Wong that Adkins was “killed in Mexico by the Mexican cartel people.”

Adkins’ body has never been found.

After Adkins was killed, C got even closer to Vallee communicating through encrypted BlackBerry messages.

“We would talk all the time, multiple times in a week, sometimes every day. We would talk about family, kids, what we’re up to, business,” C testified.

He said Vallee told him he was getting plastic surgery to alter his face since he was “on the run.”

James asked C to look at Vallee in court and see if there was any noticeable difference in his appearance from years earlier.

“He looks pretty similar to me,” he said.

Vallee also told him about finding a good tattoo artist in Mexico and getting some work done.

“He got a Hitler tattoo down there and some other Nazi-style tattoos put on,” C said.

When Vallee was arrested in Mexico in 2014 and brought back to Canada, C put money in his canteen account at the pre-trial jail every month until last summer, he testified.

The money came from a senior UN member named Versace, who has continued to provide the cash for a number of gangsters awaiting trial or convicted.

C said the UN wanted “to take care of the guys in prison so they stay happy.”

“Unhappy people tend to turn,” he said.

C said he and other UN members were increasingly broke, having trouble making drug deals and getting less support from senior members like Versace who were out of the country.

That’s one reason he decided to cooperate with police last year after getting caught with 80,000 fentanyl pills and a gun.

“I wanted out of the life. I was sick of it,” he said.

He said he signed a deal with the RCMP to get paid $400,000 to work as an agent in two investigations. He has received about half the money so far.

The money is not in exchange for his testimony against his former friend, C said.

But he testified that he did sign a separate immunity agreement meaning he won’t face charges for a litany of crimes committed while in the UN, as long as he testifies truthfully.

yo I cant believe your getting fingered for that
ill bust you out but I not taking the blame for that.
mattie called said youre unwanted ill see you soon our friend in blue want me pretty bad

TC is a high school gang in Richmond, they are only active back in around late 90 s early 2000, started by a bunch of Taiwanese guys just fighting and doing stupid shits, I don’t think any of them are in UN as they are totally different level shits

So, things are going well for ‘C’.
‘C’ is making money being a gangster – dealing, assaulting, killing, etc..
Then it starts getting hard to deal drugs.
Exasperating the situation is the fact that ‘C’ gets caught with 80k pills & gun.
‘C’ decides that he should make a positive change in his life.

Time to rat.

‘C’ now receives total immunity, $400k, and the opportunity to settle any scores with others in a court of law.

This guy and all like him are the cancer of our society. Cheat, lie, steal, kill — then rat, get paid and face no consequences.

i spend 400k on a sunday. f this rat. hes a trash bin. aint getting lit up for 100 years on 400k. dont gangsters spend like a lot of money in the life.

is this guy gonna get obese and live in mobile home and never socialize a day in his life again? did he really think his sentence out. he has to LIVE with being a rat and has to somehow make 400k last…. LOL.

Copy and pasting? Have you ever been to court? I record the proceedings and simultaneously type notes from 10-4, minus the breaks. Then I have to decide what to focus the story on and check the quotes from the recording to make sure they are accurate. I usually write one story over the lunch break, meaning I don’t take a break. And then I update it after court, finishing around 5. Then I create a separate blog post adding even more info that I have not put in my story. I tweet the blog post version out. And I talk to you guys throughout the evening in case you have questions. But I know – I’m a real slacker!

Hey Kim. Long Time reader of your stories and blog. Thanks for all the hard work you put into these stories. To all those out there that disparage Kim for her in depth coverage of gang crime in BC, take a look around and just try to find any reporter (in newspaper, radio TV or otherwise) that diligently and completely reports​ as much of the story as Kim has. Pro tip: you can’t! I’d also point out that even off the clock, Kim dedicates a lot of time to this blog. If you want to run your mouth or your keyboards about anything, focus on the gangsters and their horrific life choices. Let’s be honest here, these aren’t inner city ghetto kids living in abject poverty. These gangsters are mostly middle class guys who grew up believing the lies about the glamorous gangsta lifestyle often portrayed in movies and rap music. Guys who took the “easy” way to amass financial wealth despite the known obvious perils of being in the life. These guys swallowed the Kool Aid and bought into the bull$h!t and started living the “dream”. You all know how it ends for so many of the idiots that made those choices. Mostly death and prison. All the glory and fast women, drugs and hot cars don’t make up for the lives ruined (both in and out of the gang life). I am sure Kim has a couple of books worth of stories that could give a nearly complete overview and detailed recounting of BC gang wars. When all is said and done, Kim has done more than any other reporter in BC on gangs. Total respect for all that Kim has done.

dave yourself the time and stop posting fb articles just to see who will actually comment on thise articles. the double posting is a waste of time, and with that said, makes my life more challenging as well.

Mr C is a .. Hippocrate , he talks about Adkins being a threat to the crew then he flips on them to save his own skin?!?!… I bet he would sale his own mother to save himself…
Being gangster is fuck up life and then you either die or end up being a snitch when you get caught.
Mr C will probably get a face lift with all that $$$ the cops are giving him.

Oh lord, here we go again. Glamourizing delusion. C is a rat, vallee in jail, and the other one died in mexico and body never found. People can make up whatever stories they want kn trial. Facts are facts tho, nine if this stuff is worth cinematizing or trying to cash in on. Visit your local commhnity prison for tonnes of pipe dreams and plans created by insane lunatics but never executed…..

With shows like Narcos proving to be popular , how could you deny this would make a great movie. I’ve been reading the blog for years and this is the story tale ending, I was always curious to know the inner working of the gangs that were involved in the Vancouver drug wars. These rats are finally giving me the dirty details! This will at the very least make a great true crime novel.

how ironic …the un didnt like rats so they had adkins killed….. this fukin C fag blowing the whole lid off the un blueprint…haahha after all adkins didn with somal/naiker wolfpak hits…barzan you fucking snake fuck u
